TEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Have they ripped out the other’s weave yet?<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Not yet, but the funny thing is that they thing they’re all so fabulous and they are straight up country! Transplant them to LA and we’d goof them like nobody’s business. Bunch of drag queens. Although I might be friends with Nene. For the gossip alone.<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0I love that ‘country.’ Being a naive white girl from Connecticut I never heard the term before applied to Urban African American ladies. And by ladies, in this case, I use the term loosely.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0As you should.\u00a0We use the term quite frequently down south.<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Oh yes, tell the girls where you’re from Duane.<\/p>\nDW<\/strong>: I grew up six hours from Atlanta in Jacksonville, Florida where being country is an art form. So I know those ‘ladies.’<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Oh yeah. Jacksonville.\u00a0\u00a0I think I ate at a Hooters on the water there once.<\/p>\nDW<\/strong>: I love Hooters!<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0There’s some mall like thing with a hooters on the shore?<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0The Riverwalk.<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0I can’t imagine you in a hooters… motor-boating the waitresses… Yeah. I was at that Riverwalk once.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Jacksonville’s prize claim to fame. Yeah the waitresses love me at Hooters. Because we’re like girlfriends. I go every chance I get!<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0You lend them your lip gloss?<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0And offer fashion advice of course!\u00a0\u00a0Like girl… lose the hose and the sneakers!\u00a0\u00a0Egads!<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Yeah. That is not a good look.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Never was… never will be.<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0I never liked it on businesswomen walking around the park in Hartford on lunch hour. Skirt suit, hose and trainers. uggg.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0It’s all so disturbing… let’s not go there. I’ll have nightmares from my youth.<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0I won’t push it. Well, then we have a date to go to Hooters and eat nachos… or you can have wings but I’m a still an insufferable lesbian vegetarian.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0You’re on! We can go the one in Hollywood!<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Oh yes… Hollywood Hoots. I have a Hooters top from Atlantic City and I’ll tell you, the girls look good in that shit.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0And yes those Hooters tops are flattering! Even a queen like me must agree.<\/p>\nTEG<\/strong>: Did you happen to catch\u00a0Madonna\u00a0<\/strong>or is she too dried up for you?<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0You know I was so underwhelmed by\u00a0Confessions<\/em>\u00a0I couldn’t see tossing $400 at Madge this time around. I’ve heard not great things though… and from her biggest fans! Did you hear she was two hours late going on last night?<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0I did not but she’s a day older, that base takes a while.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0You mean paint don’t you? That shit is industrial strength!<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Oh, I was being kind. She is a gay icon after all.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Well she is… and I applaud her but c’mon.\u00a0Cher<\/strong>‘s keeping it together\u00a0\u00a0Madge can too.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/strong>TEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Madge is painting it on like she’s in a spray tan place.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0That’s what I mean. Cher’s face may not move, but hey… you know…<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0I heard\u00a0Britney Spears<\/strong>\u00a0showed up, lucid and wearing a new weave.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
DW:<\/strong>\u00a0What was up with her buttoned up outfit though? That was country!<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Maybe the Mormon church got to her!<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0So Tennessee!<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Hahaha…\u00a0\u00a0Now Tennessee is my girl\u00a0Dolly Parton<\/strong>!<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Whoop… whoop! Props to Dolly… I love that old thing! Can’t get enough of her!<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0A heart as big as her cup size I always say!<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Never heard anything but great things about her…now that’s a star…and honey the drag! I live for it!<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Did you catch Cher on\u00a0Ellen<\/em>\u00a0this week?<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0OMG… I’m such a loser… I was so wrapped up in the election madness that I saw hardly any television.<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Oh no, That’s a good loser thing. If you said you were hung up on\u00a0Days of our Lives<\/em>\u00a0and missed the election that would be bad.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0I guess you’ve got a point there.\u00a0\u00a0I feel like a ship without sail now that it’s all over<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0The election?<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0But then again there’s still Prop 8.<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Oh… this will go on for a while.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0And all the homophobia in America which is pissing me off to no end. I can hardly be joyous.<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0I know. I cried at work the other morning. The gays are not going way. We are going to march, love, fornicate and accessorize.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0And drink… all the things we do best. As a friend’s mother used to say… ‘America made my ass want to suck a lemon.’<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0That’s right. Keep those bartenders busy although with the economy I’m having to frequent my two-buck Chuck stash more than I care to.\u00a0\u00a0LOVE that! Ass suck a lemon.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Yeah… $14 cocktails seem a bit of an unnecessary luxury these days. I always loved that phrase as well.<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Was she from Georgia or Alabama cuz that sounds like something Miss Sipsy would say in\u00a0Fried Green Tomatoes.<\/em><\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Southern women are nothing if not colorful. No just from ol’ country Jacksonville, Florida Child you haven’t seen country until you’ve been J-ville. It really is southern Georgia!<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0I guess the Riverwalk doesn’t give me the full view.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Not at all… that’s high-fallutin’ Jacksonville.\u00a0LOL.<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0I know you’re out of the loop but did you happen to catch\u00a0Oprah<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a030 Rock<\/em>?<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0No but I saw a clip. That O… she’s everywhere…\u00a0\u00a0Funny?<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0And by big O I mean Obama’s publicist.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0LOL Amen!<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0She was funny. A good sport. But\u00a0Tina Fey<\/strong>\u00a0is on a roll.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Say that again and again.<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0The woman is hot.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Tina Fey is finally getting her due. She’s a real talent! She had me at\u00a0Mean Girls<\/em>!\u00a0\u00a0Which I still secretly watch when I’m blue.<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Oh I know… Fugly Slut. Brilliant and the trust falls in the gym…<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Who’s a fugly slut? Tina Fey?<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0oh No… that was the phrase in\u00a0Mean Girls<\/em>. I assume she wrote it.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Indeed she did. I just got confused there for a minute.<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0I’m not fugly but maybe a little slutty… anyway….<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Honey you may be slutty… I don’t know your life, but you ain’t fugly. Trust.<\/p>\nTEG:<\/strong>\u00a0Alright love… Ross, who was too busy to\u00a0Gossip Girl<\/em>\u00a0with me is\u00a0yapping at me about\u00a0Cyndi Lauper<\/strong>, drag queens,All My Children<\/em>,\u00a0The Changeling<\/em>,\u00a0Patti LaBelle<\/strong>. You name it. So I gotta run to find out what that girl is on about.<\/p>\nDW:<\/strong>\u00a0Have fun!
